FIXED: My own stupid. I also have a SGS2 and was using the wrong image as they a named similarly and reside in the same folder.
Hi all,
I wanted to flash teh stock Firmware to my S3 and Odin hangs at NAND Write Start.
Phone: Galaxy S3 International Version
Carrier: O2 Germany
What I have done before:
1. I was tired of waiting for OTA updates by my Carrier so I went to samfirmware.com and flashed the latest Firmware they had for my Phone (German Open; XXALF6). - No Problems
2. Since I like root, I flashed CF 6.4.
3. I installed TriangleAway and reset the flash counter.
Thats it, no further modifications.
Now, since my CSC actually seems able to deliver OTA updates and I want them, I decided to get the original Firmware from samfirmware for my CSC (XXALE8). But when I try to flash it via Odin, it hangs at "NAND Write Start" without any progress.
When I get bored and simply disconnect the USB cable, this does not hurt the phone, but i want the original Firmware on my phone again.
Any suggestions? I am open for anything but would prefer if it didn't involve wiping/factory resetting the phone.
Galaxy I9300
Android 4.0.4 Stock with CF 6.4
Baseband: I9300XXLF5
Kernel: 3.0.15-705505-user [email protected] #1
Buildnumber: IMM76D.I9300XXALF6

Have you tried a hard reset? I guess you have rooted your phone? I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with your problem. I do not know if it's up to rom or cw, maybe you should reinstall CVM via Odin's,then try to install some custom rom.
ok ......thanks for all
iam not have Options in recovery and not have any rom know
iam want flash new kernel and rom from computer via odin or any program ..... please i want how to do it
in my device in recovery i have two option :
up-volume to download ____if we choice not download
down-volume to cancel
As you don't understand the basics i would read before bricking your phone .

Failing to read/understand the basics .
Looks like you have no PIT . Why ////// who knows what you have done .
First question is what model phone and what firmware .
jje
Remove battery.
Put it back.
Go to Odin mode (volume down + home + power)
Open Odin
Flash the .md5 file on PDA in Odin. Make sure you unzip the file you downloaded from sammobile.com

Hey there I am running a Sammy S3 GT-I9300 16gb international on omega rom 42 + boeffla kernel, I tried inputing the code for finding out my product code but it doesn't seem to work. I need it since I have to unroot my phone as I am going to sell it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
P.S. Just to make sure phone is running with a custom rom.
Do you mean your original firmware ??/
jje
what is this "product code" you're talking about?
it is in effect the firmware version currently on the phone .
GT-I9300XXALE8
Presume the op wants original firmware but they never made a note of it .
Kies how to recover original firmware thread or something like that may help.
jje
Yes I am searching for my original firmware code. Can the serial number help kies find it. Also is it safe to use kies on a phone with a custom rom.
Kies confirmed my firmware version with sammobile using my s/n. I am ok now. Thanks for the help guys

Yes but it will not update as you don't have genuine firmware for it to recognize .

I tried to root my S3 L9305T following instructions from here:
redmondpieDOTcom/root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4.1.2-how-to-tutorial
However, now Odin says "PASS!" and my device is stuck on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" screen. There is no odin writing or anything in the top left like when you enter download mode.
I live in Australia and my provider is Vodafone
Please help, i really need to fix this as soon as possible :crying:
i think u used wrong files
head over to sammobile download stock rom and flashed with odin
This is not I9305 Q&A.
Root please read the sticky faqs and guides or ask those who supplied your root file .
Can you download a recovery .tar and then transfer a ROM to your phone and flash it ?

Download this: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/i9305T/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-i9305T.tar . Open Odin, connect the p[hone in "Download mode" , click Pd, and choose this file. then click start. because you have no OS, I think it will boot straight to TWRP. If not, open yourself by holding Volume UP+Power+Home at the same time. And about the arrier, I don't think it will be a problem. Just in case your phone brakesa nd you want to take to a service, it may detect that you changed the software(Even if it is an original one from SamMobile). But this cases are very rare. Except that, you will be able to use your phone normally just as you did until now !
You have I9305T ???
This is I9300 forum not for your phone please do not flash I9300 firmware .
There are two non Telstra roms listed on sammobile for GT-I9305T

I still need to downgrade it to 4.0.4, but after flash without any error, phone could not find any correct partition.
I've tryed with Odin 3.0.4, 3.0.7 and 3.0.9, with correct PIT, without PIT, I've cleared cache partition, I've cleared dalvik cache with a custom recovery... phone is always in this status:

This actually worked! Thank you for posting this. That option in CWM was the only one that actually recognized the /data and removed the corrupted image/preloader I flashed previously using the S5 SIII rom.

Hope it helps.
@HackT3k: if MG4 was working, you cannot go back without losing your telephone functions. Also ELLA wouldn't work.

Sorry I can't help, but was just wondering why you want to go back to ICS with it's risk of sudden death issues, as it seems like a lot of hassle?

Hello! I badly NEEDED your help guys!
My Device is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
I have installed a new firmware, its android version is 4.3 and an open line version for Philippines.
But it can't make and can't receive call and sms. (I have tested all the 4.3 version that is open line from sammobile.com, but it didn't work to my carrier)
The only solution I think is to flash a new modem, or to bring it back to its default stockrom which is 4.1.2(this device is bought from Israel, but it works to our carriers in the Philippines.)
The picture below is the screenshot of my device before.

Please HELP me, I really NEED you assistance please.
@jphilip04: is IMEI, showed in settings, the same as shown on the label under battery?
@rp158, yes sir, they were the same. What should I do now? Please.
@jphilip04: go back to your last firmware with working net access (with Odin). If everythings works fine there, let it update to 4.3 by KIES. If you still have net access, try to install your Phillipines-firmware.

@rp158, The problem is, I can't find the default firmware from sammobile.com. Because my device was bought from Israel. I tried to search it on google, but theres' no link that can direct me to download the exact firmware with the exact modem version.
But before I did anything on my device, I also did a nandroid backup to my default firmware thru TWRP recovery .
@jphilip04: I find on sammobile.com Israel-EMC2-build. So what?

@rp158 And what about the baseband version? Is it I9300JKEMC1 too? because I can't find the firmware with the same BASEBAND VERSION: I9300JKEMC1 on sammobile.
@jphilip04: not important. If you loose IMEI with old firmware, do nothing with OTA or KIES but flash immediatly the actual Israel-firmware with Odin.
